Dong Quai and Sage have helped me. Also layers of clothing that you can strip off but put back on quickly as I get really cold afterwards due to the sweat evaporating.

[rosewood in reply to Steph]

Thanks will try them, already wearing layers one minute on then off what fun

Yes, as lnkedup said, Evening Primrose oil is good, also garlic and vit E...watch use of caffeine and alcohol, as they can increase symptoms of hot flashes...exercise and relaxation

Thank you l will try evening primrose and vit E.I will keep a check on things that have caffeine in and see if that helps best wishes
